That Senator Gair be appointed to All the vacancy on the Standing Orders Committee.

Honourable senators will recollect that recently the report presented by the Standing Orders Committee recommended the increase of the personnel of the Committee by one. I think that this was in contemplation that the Australian Democratic Labor Party might well fill, or should fill, that vacancy. Honourable senators will recall that standing in my name on the notice paper under General Business is notice No. 5 which states:

With a view to the Standing Orders Committee being as representative as possible of the composition of the Senate at anytime, the Senate resolves that - (1) Standing Order 33 be amended by that - (1) Standing Order 33 be amended by leaving out the words 'seven senators' and inserting in lieu thereof the words 'such other senators as may be appointed by the Senate'; and

Senator Murphy
- Has that been effectively achieved by what we have done?
